Izabel and I are rolling out of Tucson the first thing Monday morning. MM has worked very well for me. I have met a lot of nice people who have helped me greatly in planning this trip. I hope to meet some of those people in person along the way. I give good lunch. lol. Plus; I also have the exceptionally good fortune of being able to hang out with Lorrie. That is one pleasure that cannot even begin to be measured in dollars and cents. Still, having said that, not a bad showing for the price of admission. Actually, everyone I met was a result of the forums even though they may have only posted here once. Stumbling upon these forums was just dumb luck, but it has been by far the best part and the only productive part of the whole experience. Sometimes you guys made me laugh so hard I had tears rolling down my cheeks. Its called a laugh-cry. They are the best. I just want to wish everyone a great summer before I take off. I will check in from time to time to see what is going on and maybe post a pic. or two. In the words of an old song, "Will I see you in Sept. or lose you to a summer love?" lol. All of you folks going to the Columbus "HO-DOWN" (no pun intended. rofl) have a great weekend. I will try to make the next one. Be well, my cyber friends....Bill

Hey Bill ol friend, I see you are traveling again. I am still in the Lone Star state of Texas y'all, lol. Have been having a good time here, Dallas/Fort Worth sure has been getting a good amount of rain in the last few weeks, quite a difference than Hollywood/Los Angeles, lol. I am thinking about going back to Los Angeles since the holiday's are coming upon us fast and I have not been there since June.

So you are headed to Alaska again, Beautiful state! Stay warm and Healthy, I will chat with you soon. I am playing a player on this site in the "Stuck in Africa scam having a fun time with her/he/whoever, lol. Other than that, I have been busy ranching, LMAO. Well I best get back to my herd, gotta round them up and brand them, corral em, and drive them to the stockyard. Them Prairie Dogs can be quite a lot to handle, lol. Just kidding. Enjoy life!

PS. Hello everyone else, drop me a few lines and let me know what you have been up to.

Howdy from Hyder, AK. POP. 50. Yes I am back in Alaska and no I did not make a wrong turn. Actually Hyder should be in Canada rather than the U.S. as they use the Canadian currency and phone companies, they are not on Alaska time like the rest of AK. and their road signs are metric. It is a continuation of A Canadian town called Stewart. The paved road ends by the border and then becomes dirt and very pot holed. That's how you know you have arrived in Hyder. There is no U.S. customs to go through but you do have to go through Canadian customs to get out of here. lol. What they have is the 4th largest glacier in North America which you can drive right along side and good bear watching. They tell you if you don't see bears along the river; then drive out to the town garbage dump. lol. They are also proud of being able to Hyderize people. That involves imbibing people with a local drink made from pure grain alcohol. No TV, but good internet access. It is going to be a long evening. It's Friday night. Maybe I will get Hyderized. lol

Bill, I just caught this thread today. I was in Anchorage for five years. My youngest child was born on Elmendorf AFB.
I cried when I found out that was where the next station was going to be....I cried harder when I had to leave.
I went back at Christmas '07. The love of Alaska hit me all over again.
If you ever want to share stories or adventures...let me know.
I was born in Texas, but Alaska in in my heart.

PS. My son, his wife, and little girl are stationed in Fairbanks. They live in North Pole.

Good to see you 5w's. You don't look a day older than you pic. Best to read this thread with the oldest messages first. I forgot how much great company I had along the way. We need to plan a get together. Vegas is always good. I know of a great guest ranch in CO. that we can go to in the summer. Might be fun.

The name of that ranch isn't brokeback mountain is it???

Yes, we all enjoyed your adventure, AND the women you met along the way. Would you mind taking another trip and meet some more of the MM women for me? I trust your judgment on the one to pick out for me.

I really have to tell you people the truth, Bill is really (Elvis) and he is alive and living just don't want anyone to know it, but I cannot hold this inside anymore. I'm sorry Bill just cannot lead these folks on anymore...Have a great one Unsnaggedeagle

I am just warning people here Bill. Unsnaggedeagle is not available at the moment, so I will just quote her.

And yes, there are a lot of old fun threads on the forum. Tell everyone to come back.
